vRB not getting registered with vRA 7.6 version, error "Invalid data format"

                                  Not able to register vRB with vRA 7.6 version

During my upgrade of vRB, i had encountered with vRB registration with vRA.
This is known issue as of now with vRB and VMware is aware as well. there is a fix for this.
Getting error "Invalid data format" while registering with vRA.

1. SSH to vRB appliance and go to "/usr/local/tomcat/shared-lib"
2. check if any .jar files exist there or not. In my case, there was no .jar files located under this directory.
3. I got shared lib .jar files from VMware for vRB 7.6 version.
4. Once got the .jar files from VMware, follows below steps. If you need vRB 7.6 versions .jar files, comment me on this post, i will provide that.
5.***** Take a snapshot of the vRBC appliance again *****

i. SSH to vRB appliance and run command "monit stop all"
ii. Put all the jar files to "/usr/local/tomcat/shared-lib/"
iii. Run command "monit start all"
iv. Re-Register the vRB appliance with vRA.


This time vRB will get register with vRA without any issues.
